We returned!

Cael has officially met all his 1st cousins, aunts and uncles! Andy and Hannah came up to visit us while Hannah was on spring break! Hannah enjoyed reading to Cael, and Cael liked listening to her! This was the start of a really fun week!

We have successfully made our first "BIG" trip with Cael! Our trip to Arizona was a lot of fun! Jonathan and I both feel that Cael "grew up" so much this week! First off, Cael traveled very well on the flight! He slept for 95% of each flight! The people around us were impressed with how well he did...so were we! While in Arizona, we did a lot of what we needed to do...relax and enjoy the weather! Uncle Jordan, Auntie Erin, and cousin Flynn met us down there...what a blast it was to watch the boys all week! During the week, we hung out at Mike Haler's humble abode (where we were staying...THANKS, MIKE!), we went to Tucson to visit Eric and Cyndy and the kids, also for Cael to meet the rest of his cousins! We celebrated St. Patrick's Day at a mexican restaurant! We attended a Cubs game (which was too hot for Cael in the sun, so we spent the majority of the game under the stands in the shade, which was perfect). We even did a little hike in the White Tank Mtns! The weather was perfect the entire week, getting a little on the warmer side toward the end of the week, but nothing to complain about! Cael really enjoyed being in just a onsie or his diaper!

Meeting cousins Kjetil, Laurelei, and Chloe!

Kjetil is only 9 days older than Cael...they weigh close the same, but certainly carry it differently! Kjetil is definitely longer than Cael!

Now we are back home, trying to adjust to reality again! Cael came back from vacation a little grumpy...I think he wants to go back to wearing only his diaper, but it is too cold in MN! I told Jonathan that I would gladly return to AZ with him, but Jonathan said I do have to go back to work eventually! I am officially starting back to work on April 1 (not a joke, either). Cael is starting day care on March 30, so I will have a couple days of him at day care before I start back to work to either rest or run errands that I need to!

Cael returning to his Minnesota gear! Long sleeves, long pants, and a hat!
